Chapter 380: Chapter 229: The Contradiction in the Disappearance Timeline!

At 11:30 PM, Mr. Qin was tidying up the mountain of files on his desk.

Having been busy all day, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart and was longing to go home to relax and rest.

Mr. Qin raised his hand to rub his aching temples, trying to dispel some fatigue, then reached up to turn off the office lights.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, looking through the window.

The light in the interrogation room opposite—interrogation room No. 1—was on!

Mr. Qin frowned, his mind started wondering.

That’s strange!

He himself turned off the light when he left earlier, so why was it on again?

He paused to consider, thinking about the clearing operation that had just ended yesterday.

By rights, there shouldn’t be anyone investigating new cases in the Criminal Investigation Team today.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone in some confusion and dialed Lin from the duty room.

”Hello, Lin, did I forget to turn off the light in the duty room earlier? Go in and turn it off.”

Lin quickly responded from the other end of the phone: ”Mr. Qin, you indeed turned off the light when you left just now, but... Mr. Li brought people to the interrogation room again.”

”Oh? He brought people to the interrogation room, what’s going on?”

”There’s no special operation today.”

Mr. Qin raised his voice slightly, full of doubts.

His eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and his brow furrowed more tightly.

Lin glanced at the interrogation room, whispered: ”Mr. Qin, the person Mr. Li is interrogating is the woman Wang Shantao you interrogated tonight.”

”Oh? Brought her back for interrogation again?”

Mr. Qin was dumbfounded, unsure of what to make of it.

His eyes slightly widened, his face full of astonishment.

Soon after, Lin continued over the phone: ”However, when Mr. Li came back just now, I saw that woman wearing handcuffs.”

In an instant, Mr. Qin felt like he was hit by an electric current, and his doubts deepened.

Reflecting on the previous interrogation, although Wang Shantao showed some suspicion,

there was no apparent abnormal behavior, how did she suddenly become a suspect?

Mr. Qin was clear-minded.

Ordinary people entering the interrogation room wouldn’t be wearing handcuffs.

”Did they discover something else?”

Mr. Qin murmured to himself, biting his lip unconsciously, his footsteps also paused involuntarily.

Just as he was stepping out of the office, he looked up and saw Mr. Ma also walking past his office door.

He quickly greeted: ”Mr. Ma, you haven’t gone home yet?”

Mr. Ma nodded gently, his face full of fatigue.

”I was just revising that document, the provincial office’s oversight group is coming tomorrow to inspect our homicide investigation situation.”

In the midst of speaking, Mr. Ma sighed lightly, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He subconsciously supported his forehead with one hand.

”Which aspect are they overseeing?”

Mr. Qin asked casually, his eyes concerned as he looked at Mr. Ma.

”There are many involved aspects, not only our routine case handling but also the clearance rate of homicide cold cases.”

”I just combed through it, Jiangcheng still has ten unsolved cases that haven’t been cracked yet, worrying over how to report to the provincial office tomorrow.”

Mr. Ma sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness.

His shoulders also slumped slightly, making him seem even more exhausted.

Mr. Qin also sighed helplessly.

For those few unsolved cases, he too was aware.

Although some cases happened while he was still in school.

After starting work, he had carefully read over them in the archives room.

These cases are truly a tangled mess, utterly perplexing, almost like meticulously planned perfect crimes, leaving no leads.

Mr. Qin shook his head slightly, a hint of powerlessness in his eyes.

After a long while, Mr. Qin spoke to comfort: ”Mr. Ma, don’t get too worked up.”

”Even though these cases are tricky, I believe with the continuous progress of technology, investigative methods get more advanced, we’ll eventually find a breakthrough and solve them.”

Mr. Ma’s mouth formed a slightly bitter smile.

”When these cases occurred, systems like Skynet and mobile phones weren’t even around.”

”Now, after all these years, trying to find clues with these devices is unlikely.”

”Sigh, there’s no point talking about it, if we truly want to solve a few cases, we’ll probably have to rely on traditional investigative techniques and scene investigation.”

As he spoke, Mr. Ma waved his hand helplessly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

As soon as he finished, Mr. Ma asked: ”Why are you heading home so late too?”

”Yesterday’s clearing operation was exhausting enough, everyone should go home early and rest.”

”Indeed, the clearing operation ended yesterday.”

”However... we’ve discovered White Bone at Phoenix Mountain.”

The two walked side by side towards the staircase, Mr. Ma asked as they went: ”How is it, any progress on that case?”

”I heard from Li Jian, I don’t know if our crime unit is unlucky or lucky lately, cases keep coming one after another.”

”Is this case criminal, or accident, or suicide?”

Mr. Qin wanted to mention the slightly abnormal behavior of the deceased’s partner Wang Shantao, but changed his words at the last moment: ”Not sure yet, there are some suspicious aspects.”

Mr. Qin lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickered, avoiding Mr. Ma’s gaze, feeling somewhat hesitant.

While speaking, the elevator doors opened with a ”ding” sound.

Mr. Ma wanted to ask more, hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he just stepped into the elevator, leaving a sentence: ”No matter what, make sure to investigate every non-natural death case thoroughly.”
